I’m surprised people here actually believe Microsoft’s claim.
First of all, we can easily imagine that the higher ups in the firm are strongly pushing their teams to adopt IA and said teams are likely to give them highly inflated numbers just to appease them.
Then the higher ups have plenty of incentives to further increase that imaginary number to pitch to investors:
After all, Microsoft is an AI peddler, not only in end user products but also in infrastructure. They want investors and customers to believe in AI to push their goods, and for those that already believe in it, they want those to see that Microsoft is pushing ahead of the trend rather than falling behind in the “AI revolution” race.
